Smilies :)

We did this little exercise at PF v2.0. How many different smilies can you make, without using emoticons?


:) Happy smiley
:( Not-so-happy smiley
:D Big smiley
;) Winky smiley

Some of the ones I came up with:

:x "I'm going to puke!" smiley
[z[/color]:|]I Frankenstein smiley (like the scar and the bolts?)

Here's one Greg came up with that I'm totally going to steal:

@@@@@@[/color]:) Marge Simpson smiley
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I always liked Abe Lincoln: =|:|>
 
=o - shocked
8) - stoned
 
(_8-(|) - Homer Simpson

@(-_-)@ - Princess Leia
 
v_v" -- a downcast sigh
xD -- laughing

..and there are some more that I've seen..I just can't remember them.
 
';/= -- Cap to the side, eyebrow pierced, slanted mouth, gotee (sp?).

o:-) Angel (I don't usually give my angels noses, but the version without IS the smiley code here).

:-S I think I just ate a bug. (Also works for: That's kind of gross, but I'm trying to keep from laughing because I know I shouldn't.)

8-/ Rolls eyes

P.S. I just have to point out that this forum has the guiltiest angel smiley ever! That angel is never as innocent as he looks!
